Why Real Madrid Leading La Liga at Mid-Season Unjust and Thanks to Refereeing Mistakes

it is our own fault we are behind Madrid, even if Madrid have bought the referees this season.

It is our own fault the players turn up thinking they don't have to work hard to get the win.

it is our own fault that the players are not as motivated away from home

are the players really hungry enough to treat every la liga match as a do or die from the first minute to the last? I'm not so confident, but that is what they need to do.

Madrid have a MASSIVE squad so I don't see them losing too many points when you look at the quality of their squad rotations.

this is just a silly reason .. when you play shit away from home .. don't moan about the refs .. Barca won 3 ligas with minimum number of PKs .. so it's unvalid point

seems to rotate fine

Of course it is a weak league. Real Madrid are your only competition. Valencia and Sevilla were raped and left without their best players a long time ago.

The greatest side in history can't even win their domestic league four times in a row. That's lame.

His name is Sir Alex Ferguson and the club's name is Manchester United. Show some respect. We were competing and performing in Europe long before anyone gave a shit about Barcelona. Before the 90's, you were a nothing club. Yeah, because winning two European Cups and playing in five finals is really underachieving. Any coach would be lucky to have such a record. We won our own treble in 1999 without our two best midfielders and captain. That is one of the greatest sides in history. Rivaldo has said as much.

Wow, just wow!
What a pile of steaming turd.
There is absolutely no way that that Man Utd team could live with today's Barca.
As for competing in Europe, are you even aware of any of Barcas history?
Idiot!

End of this team's cycle-PLAIN & SIMPLE. Alot of them are tired, complacent and not at the same level as before.

No use blaming the refs etc. If we had won just ONE more game and DRAWN another away from home we would be within striking distance. The league is done and dusted-Mourinho knows it hence the leak about him leaving at the end of the season.

lol k blame the ref for uninspiring performances

Even if the reffs have helped RM sometimes(and like I said, this is not because of a conspiracy, it's because of the pressure Mouriarty is puting on them), it does not excuse our performances against Real Sociedad, Getafe or Villareal(who have cost us exactly 7 pts). The players are just tired mentally and physically and if at home they receive the push they need from the public(see Betis or even Sevilla), away it's more difficult.
Maybe playing more youth players will give the team the push they need(like Tello the other day or Callejon at RM).

Agree.We need to think more strategicly,everybody else is doing that.From now on,we should try to score 2 goals as fast as possible and immediately substitute out best players with youngsters so they can rest.Or try to play defensive sometimes to spare attackers

Pep is the best manager. But gotta blame this defeat on him.

Two clasicos in one week, with the same lineup in both, took too much out of this squad. It was not reasonable to send every healthy starter back out there again for this game. The only chance was to put some of the kids out there, even though that type of lineup might not have been able to win this game either.

Starting some of the kids would have allowed the benched starters to recover a bit before Valencia next Wednesday. Now they are all likely to be still too tired. Tired players not only are unable to win games, they are more likely to get hurt as well.

The end of an era maybe?

Totally ridiculous to say that. If Pep stays and Moaninho goes, a couple of key signings in the summer will get things off the ground again. Injuries to the likes of Pedro, Villa and Iniesta have disturbed the team. Throw in some loss of form I admit but there is no need to go overboard.
